dear naysayer, please go away
come bring me down on another day
i know you think that i'm just a waste
and here i am
a waste of a man
dear naysayer, tell me what do you love
so i can take the things you care about
and turn them into rust
like you did to all of us
everything i had was never enough for you
so i think i've had enough of you
i think i've had enough of you
goodbye naysayer
dear naysayer, you think i'm better off dead
you bring me down so much,
it's just as bad, so you're right to some extent
how could i take this
i've been beaten down by my lack of patience
deep down i know that this is all my fault
but i swear i'll hate you until my final breath
dear naysayer, don't take from me
because i have nothing left

Buried

Bury my name under the dirt.
Into the ground for what i'm worth.
I'm digging my own shallow grave.
I guess i get what i deserve.
So bury me alive.
I am everything that i hate.
Bury me while i'm still breathing,
so then i'll know just what it's like
for you to take my breathe away.
Honestly, i swear i mean it
when i say burning bridges and severed ties
are more the reason to bury myself alive.
I could think of a million reasons
why i'm in this situation
my lack if judgement seems to get the best of me
i'm not too good with patience,
so why even bother trying
Just put me somewhere quiet.
Just put me somewhere silent.
It's all i ever wanted.
Bury me while i'm still breathing,
so then i'll know just what it's like
for you to take my breathe away.
Honestly, i swear i mean it
when i say burning bridges and severed ties
are more the reason to bury myself alive.

Wasted

Everyone I know's a liar
so i'm so sick of being honest
I live my life as a sinner
please show me anyone who isn't
and i'll listen
because it's 2am and i've been feeling so alone
and i could drink myself to sleep
but i still won't feel at home
It won't be the same
after all the lies that have been told
you could say that things will change
i know damn sure that they won't
It's all wasted hope
i guess i live my life too fast
or maybe i just forgot how to live
or maybe i got caught up
thinking about the shit i shouldn't care about
but i did
because it's 2am and i've been feeling so alone
and i could drink myself to sleep
but i still won't feel at home
It won't be the same
after all the lies that have been told
you could say that things will change
i know damn sure that they won't
It's all wasted hope
Please just give me a break from this
because i've been feeling restless
and i just can't take this anymore
please someone just save me now
because i feel so worn out
and i need a break from this
because i just can't take this

I know you're tired of running in circles.
I don't blame you for wanting to leave.
I guess the only reason i'm still here,
is the foundation became part of me.
So i'm stuck, shit out of luck
I'm getting so close, but it's not close enough
These walls are so frail.
These winds are so rough.
I'm breaking my bones just to show you what's left.
But there's nothing left
I know you try and pretend like you're okay.
I see it in your eyes when you're lying to me.
I know i'm the only reason that you stay,
but i don't blame you for wanting to leave.
So i'm stuck, shit out of luck
I'm getting so close, but it's not close enough
These walls are so frail.
These winds are so rough.
I'm breaking my bones just to show you what's left.
But there's nothing left.
How do you manage to put yourself through this?
Someday i know you'll blame it all on me.
How do you manage to put yourself through this?
When everyday, i know you're dying to leave.
